Marine Girls. The Lyceum, London 31 st March 1983 (from fruiter than thou)


From: http://fruitierthanthou.blogspot.com/2008/04/marine-girls-lyceum-london-31st-march.html

Someone from the "RIP IT UP" group wanted a copy of the MARINE GIRLS gig supporting ORANGE JUICE at the Lyceum back in 1983, so I loaded it. If anyone else wants it, it can be found here:
I only ever saw the three piece version of Alice & Jane Fox & Tracey Thorn. I don't know why they appealed so much to me .. Just very very charming. I have always loved that ploppy base line of "That Fink Jazz Me Blues Boy" & "Don't Come Back" always reminded me of the theme tune to 'Welcome Back Kotter' ... An American sitcom from the 1970's of which apart from the theme tune I can't remember a thing ... Apart from it had Joh Travolta in it.. Tracey went on to form EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL with partner Ben Watt. Alice & Jane were joined by Lester Noel to form GRAB GRAB THE HADDOCK..

Rumblefish - "1234 singles" (Summerhouse 2007)


Rumblefish
Tugboat Line
(Pink)
In the early Eighties, I was a new romantic and an electropop freak, but by ’84 the new pop dream was all but over, so I turned my attention to something new and exciting. And what could have been more exciting to a young man’s ears than the great guitar indiepop that was being released by Creation records. The Jesus and Mary Chain, Felt, early Primal Scream, House of Love became my new idols (replacing my old Human League posters). However in their wake there came a second wave of bands and labels which were equally as fine, but nowadays seem to be totally forgotten.
I think the Pink label had the rather wonderful McCarthy (still one of my favourite bands of all time) too, but the jewel in their crown must be this wonderful single by Rumblefish. “Tugboat Line” starts off like “Atmosphere” by Joy Division, gracefully building up with a rather mournful bassline and the vocals gliding over the top until this most joyful of trumpetline comes bursting in and transforms the song into something totally different.
I never heard anything else by Rumblefish (I think they left the Pink label soon after this single) although I saw a CD by them not long ago in a second hand shop and was very tempted to buy it, but somehow couldn’t cause I was afraid it would not live up to the standard of “Tugboat Line” and somehow tarnish its brilliance. I mean, it’s quite unthinkable that they ever scaled the heights again of this most wonderful of singles.
